    this happened to me as well and the invading ip was traced back to computer city in beijing. i called the number posted for the company and threatened to cut off someones legs at 7am their time, in mandarin, pretending to be an official... seriously though, did you log into your account through any other pc than your own at any time? because that could be one way for them to get your info.

    to my inexperienced eye, the nakago looks to be very well shaped. it even reminds me of some of the nakago found on yasukuni blades. the yasurime seems fine, even and pretty parallel all with a slight slant. at least that part of the sword doesnt seem to be poorly made. cf

    Hi Tony, can you find out more about what the ny tokenkai has cooling regarding a ny shinsa? They ha one on 2002 and the other in 2006 as you've stated. For some reason I had thought they were trying to keep it happening every 4 years which means this year would have seen one. Alas not... Anyhow, any new info would be appreciated. Thanks.

    thanks for the info to all. but i m still trying to figure out what the top surface of the fuchi in such a koshirae looks like. the way normal fuchi looks is relatively unfinished but its covered by the tsuba so it doesnt matter. in this case, it is exposed. and does any kind of seppa come into play here? if so, how, without looking out of place.

    As in uesugi? And so the habaki rests directly on the fuchi? Or is there a different kind of fuchi where it's top surface is finished There doesn't seem to be any seppa as well. Anyone has more details?

    i was thinking of this. know if this type of koshirae is ever used on a katana? regards, chifan

    hi all, is there any katana fittings or koshirae in the tsuba-less style of tanto fittings/koshirae out there? what is the type of fitting call where the koiguchi matches the fuchi in a single design? regards, chi fan

    maybe a coordinated effort can be made to introduce nihonto to the college crowd through history professors or asian studies professors, or even martial arts clubs.
